Midnight Club series

Group Description

Midnight Club games, developed by Rockstar San Diego, are a series of open world racing games with arcade handling that give the player access to at least one city to open world race within, taking up races at their own leisure.

The games cars are all real life models which can all be modified mechanically to improve performance. They can also be visually customised by adding modifications such as window decals, tints, personal registration plates and other aftermarket parts.

The Midnight Club games are named in reference to The Mid Night Club, a Japanese street racing group who were known for racing modified high end cars along the Bayshore Route of the Shuto Express way, located between Yokohama and Tokyo. The club was disbanded in 1999 after several bikers were killed in an incident involving the Mid Night Club. The two Chinese characters that appear in all Midnight Club games logos also translate as "Bayshore".
